A detailed look at early American flowers and herbs, with expert
advice on creating a garden with historically accurate plants
Hounds-tongue. Ragged robin. Costmary. Pennyroyal. All-heal. These
plants, whose very names conjure up a bygone world, were among the
great variety of flowers and herbs grown in America's colonial and
early Federal gardens. In this sumptuously illustrated book, a
leading historic plant expert brings this botanical heritage back
to life. Drawing on years of archival research and field trials in
Colonial Williamsburg's gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, Lawrence
Griffith documents fifty-six species of flowers and herbs and
provides details on how they were cultivated and used. For each
plant, an elegant period hand-colored engraving, watercolor, or
woodcut is presented along with glorious new photographs by Barbara
Temple Lombardi. This book is a dazzling treat for armchair
gardeners and for those who have visited and admired the famous
gardens of Colonial Williamsburg. It is also an invaluable
companion for twenty-first-century gardeners who will appreciate
the specific advice of a master gardener on how to plan, choose
appropriate species for, and maintain a beautiful, historic flower
and herb garden. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is a
not-for-profit educational institution that operates the world's
largest living history museum. Published in association with the
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

Orquideas, Historias y Personajes Desde el inicio, la busqueda de
la belleza ha sido una de las prioridades del ser humano, y con
respecto a la belleza de las orquideas, no fue secundario para
nadie. Desde siempre el ser humano ha cultivado plantas para
usarlas como alimento u otras utilizaciones materiales, pero junto
a las plantas "utiles" ha cultivado tambien flores que, no teniendo
un uso material, satisfacian una necesidad espiritual. Fascinantes
y misteriosas, las orquideas son las reinas de las flores. Este
libro es como un relato que guia al lector en la exploracion del
maravilloso e infinito mundo de las orquideas, para conocer todos
los aspectos: que son, que las distingue de las otras flores, donde
viven, como viven, como se reproducen, etc. Y despues la historia,
las anecdotas, las leyendas, los personajes que las hacen aun mas
apreciadas, porque las orquideas con una historia, tienen algo mas.
Y finalmente, como cultivarlas en casa, luz, agua, temperatura,
fertilizacion, como se corta la vara despues de la floracion, como
se trasplanta, principales problemas, enfermedades y parasitos,
como hacerlas florecer, etc. Las Phalaenopsis, por mas que sean las
orquideas mas vendidas, no son mas que una pequenisima parte del
mundo de las orquideas, un mundo maravilloso que no espera otra
cosa que ser descubierto para mostrar a los amantes del verde sus
tesoros, este libro quiere acompanar de la mano a aquellos que,
despues de algunas Phalaenopsis, quieren explorar este infinito y
fantastico mundo."
